Fall Louisiana Festivals

When I look at the list of fall festivals in Louisiana it makes me very happy. It’s wonderfully diverse and displays the distinctive culture of the state. I’d definitely attend a few of these if I found myself in Louisiana after Oktoberfest. Here are the September and October festivals in Louisiana in 2015:

Red River Revel Arts Festival – Shreveport, LA – October 3-10, 2015
